    Paperless-ngx is a community-supported open-source document management system that transforms your physical documents into a searchable online archive so you can keep, well, less paper.

  3. Today I'm running Madness on Geneva Lake, a #CoC adventure to celebrate the 50th anniversary of #Chaosium (founded 31 October 1975).

    There are some editorial problems with the book. In particular, the stats for Dr. King are missing.

    In the past, I would have searched #forums for errata or to see if other players had filled in the blanks. But today all such discussions take place in #walledgardens like #Discord which are not #indexed or #searchable.

    I guess I'll just wing it.

  4. @abeorch in which case it would be Fediverse server wide?

    Let's hope someone comes up with a clever hack to mod robots.txt based on hashtags or something. I have #searchable in my profile and I love how my posts for #AllAngelsJazzBand are amplified in Google by other servers Global pages (way better than IG) but if rather my content stays mine, not belligerently resold as robo-gary

    Timeline transfer is a stupid idea

    At least the claws are out. Thanks for telling me I'm stupid. I'll keep that in mind.

    Make a blog post.

    I'm old enough to remember when this was on advogato and it was called "microblogging" thank you very much.

    I have tagged my profile #searchable because my approach to social media is microblogging, and I generally try to put thought into what I post.

    The fact that you think I'm stupid for doing this is unlikely to change my opinion.

    Now, for at least some of my threads, I do collect them in edited form. Then I often share links to that edited form here. It's rarely on my nominal blog these days; far more likely to be a forum, but I'm not here to argue semantics.

    Your arrogant demands are unlikely to change my behavior.

  6. Oh, fun! not_on_display posted The Fictional Brands Archive's searchable index, with descriptions of each brand, and browsable by name, sector, category, medium, genre, and "touchpoint." Check out the "Research" section, too, for lots of info and history on brands! 🆒

  7. @odd @FediTips

    You also need to put #searchable in your profile if you do want folks to find you by what you wrote without tagging everything.

  8. My latest favorite online tool is #PDF file regeneration with #OCR.

    Utilizing these tools I can screenshot some presentation, put those images into one PDF, run it through the service and download a #searchable PDF.

    I have no idea what is the business model (my content is no secret) but tools.pdf24.org/en/ocr-pdf fulfills my niche need.

  9. @tychotithonus There are some opt-in Fediverse services that will proactively index your posts if you include #searchable in your profile.

  10. My posts are now #searchable. All [checks profile] ...hmmm... 313 of them. OK, maybe that contribution is not such a watershed moment for the global info space. Still, this is great progress for Mastodon.

  11. @frumble

    My posts are #searchable for three months via tootfinder.ch (you can join there, too).

  12. @haley_exe Mastodon will most likely not grow without better #search and #quote functions. Individual users should be able to decide whether their posts are #searchable and #quotable.

  13. @graue don’t want to be pedantic about how to write #userstories, but i am confused by what this feature does. Is it:
    - Given I have a discoverable account
    - Given i wrote a toot with the word “hello” in it (not a hashtag)
    - When a user searches the word hello only, with or without “”
    - when a user searches the word hello at least
    - then results display my toot

    And what about the difference
    - my account is searchable (handle, bio)
    Vs.
    - my toots are #searchable

  14. @ActionRetro @stux @jan There was another project that asked for the #searchable hashtag. I don't remember what it was called, but i added the tag to my bio, as o quite liked that approach.

  15. @CoolFrog #searchable in the profile is the Mark for tootfinder.ch to include all their toots/posts in the search results there
